What is the Denver weather like?

It varies widely depending on the season. The Denver area is generally considered to be a “semi-arid” environment.
In 2007, we had a very unusual winter, with much of the heavy snowfall that would normally fall in the mountains, coming to the Denver metro area. In normal winters, the Denver metro area would receive occasional moderate snowfalls and a few very cold periods during the winter season, but would be relatively comfortable, cool and dry most of the time. Of course, the skiiers, both residents and visitors, love to see as much snow as possible, especially in the mountain resort areas just west of Denver.
Denver area summers are typically warm, but not oppressively hot, and generally dry, with low humidity. Summer is an ideal time for camping, golf, bicycling, hiking, or any of the other outdoor activities that have gained the Denver area its well deserved reputation as an outdoor sports paradise.
Spring and Fall are very unpredictable, with a late season heavy snow event from time to time, and also the possibility of a first snowfall as early as late September. Otherwise, Fall and Spring are considered ideal times to take advantage of favorable weather conditions to explore the many state and national parks that abound in the area.

I just wanted to thank you very much for this informative article. I have already bookmarked your site, when I have more free time I am going to have to do some further browsing. Well back to my dreaming of Panama or back to the books – I wonder which one is going to win out.
